Incorrect, there have been zero deliveries in last 2 years, can you find a source? HAL/IAF/Indian Gov make a massive sing and dance when one even has a test flight so deliveries always make headlines. No point lying anymore Being rolled out and being in IAF service are two different things...

In last 2 years now, HAL have delivered zero, repeat, ZERO Tejas to IAF..... Can you read my post properly? Yes, 27 are in service, how many of those 27 were delivered in last 2 years? Zero. Something is obvioulsy deeply wrong with this programme that HAL/IAF are hiding

Sorry, this post shows an ignorance of air combat ops. In every country and scenario and war (NATO, Red Flag, Gulf War), missions are run with combined teams, strike aircraft do not "defend themselves", if PAF wanted to it could of sent in F-16s armed with AMRAAMs and Paveways. The moment a...

OK, you refuse to see the blindingly obvious, I get it.

I took that into account, even Royal Navy has these functions (and much larger then PN) yet keeps a lower number of flag officers. Top brass needs to be cut and money invested in junior leaders and better equipment.

Long response without really answering the issue

It is not a case of it being possible or not, but for sure you can expect much more money, testing, delays and problems as opposed to getting a mature system already mated together. That is just obvious to anyone with very basic knowledge.

Has a jet fighter actually landed or taken off from this ship yet? I would think that criteria would be pretty important before handing it over no?

So you are going to integrate an Indian missile with Russian, Israeli and French fire control radars? Good luck.

Yes, also we have advantage that PL-10/PL-12/PL-15 can be quickly sent over in large stocks. India now has issue as both Europeans and Russians will be massivley giving priority to their own missile stocks after Ukraine war, major plus for Pak

I think China will not have a problem resupplying J-10s/JF-17s quickly

Well I would argue for a 500k plus man army we have the right number of Generals, but yes, AF and Navy seem very top heavy, so much so we can deputise senior officers to the likes of PIA or to go abroad...

Mirage F-1 would of been a good move, especially as we had all the weapons and equipment for Mirage III/5 and pilots who flew it for Qatar and Iraq. Could of also tried for some form of in house production. Ultimately though it came to late as already the F-16 was in USAF service by the F-1...

You need to get your info from good sources, not Indian media. 3 A90-Bs are all being upgraded in Turkey, with very modern systems, these and the AIPs make them a more deadly threat then anything in the IN right now. In terms of breathing easy I think half the IN spent time chasing one A90-B...

Ban coming along I feel....

Dude, take the BS to another thread, look back 1,000 years and who can see who "broke" who.

39 different types!? By my counting PAF has 21 types, PLAAF has 28 types, RAF has 18 types, How do you even operate an Air Force like that!? https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/indian-air-force-chief-laments-too-many-different-aircraft-122041201307_1.html

I think any new F-16s will have to be "V" version, which will also take some time to properly train on, you are right, PAF is very familiar with the F-16 in general. However as more and more time passes on, the areas where US leads in Mil Tech vis a vis China becomes less and less. Outside the...
